This page is designed, created,
and written by myself personally. It is my thanks and tribute to the thousands
who have prayed, fasted, and kept me before the throne of God. It
made the difference! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Many stories and things have
been written, told, spoken, and retold that really are not medically sound
or even true in some cases. This then is my own story as I experienced
it.

The
annual revival crusade in Sydney, which I have preached for many years, was a
tremendous success. Fifteen were baptized in Jesus' mighty
saving name! Nine were filled with the baptism of the Holy
Ghost. There were healings and wonderful deliverances! The services were wonderfully attended and the Spirit of
God moved mightily in each service to reach one and all present. The
manifestation of God and the response of the people were exciting and
uplifting to behold. The church in Sydney, Australia is a marvelous
experience to attend and be a part of. I am ever so fond of Pastor
Slack and his congregation!

Being half English and half
German myself, I can relate to the British culture and influence of
the land of Australia. I stayed over a couple of days and then was at
the Sydney airport on my way to another conference in Hawaii. Pastor Slack and myself were at an
airport restaurant standing before the counter ordering. I
looked up at the menu on the wall and that was the last thing I remembered
until the later in the hospital. I fell, not crumpled down in a heap, but all six foot
one and half inches of me fell straight backwards and the back of my
head struck the cement floor of the airport.

Pastor Slack
fell on his knees

immediately at my side and began

praying loudly that I
would be raised

from the dead and live!
Jesus heard!

Two policeman nearby came
running

to help and together they
worked

untiringly to restore my
life. Pastor

Slack was still
praying...

The team shocked my heart
ten times.

Normally it is done only
three

times, but they would
not give up.

Nigel, an ambulance officer,

responded
to the airport call for help.

Along
with another officer with him

and a
paramedic who arrived shortly,

they began to work
for my recovery.

After
thirty minutes during which time

there
was no heartbeat nor breathing

at
all; suddenly my heart and

breathing began
to function. I was

taken to the
hospital.

I am convinced that I
owe the Miracle of my life being restored to Brother Slack's
fervent prayers, Nigel, and the others there assisting. They
worked as a unified team with my recovery as their goal.

Nigel also came to the
hospital to visit and to check on my well being and progress. I shall
ever be most grateful for such burden and unified efforts on my behalf from
each member of the rescue team. May they ever be Blessed by God
Himself!

Most
people in the condition I was in, are dead at hospital arrival.

I was not!

There is
only one reason for that ...

He

died

that

I

might

live!

And I am alive because
of His Death, His Life, His Love, and His Mercy!

To God Be The Glory!

_________________

There is tremendous interest and amazement at hospitals both
in Australia and America concerning my case and hospital staff members have been very vocal about this
fact. In both hospitals I am called the "miracle patient."
Various hospital staff personnel came to my room in both
countries to hear
my story directly from me. Though I was weary and did not always feel
well, I was determined to tell them about Jesus! Many people
commented when they came into my room that they could feel the Holy Ghost!
It was really tremendous!

The most outstanding happening occurred
when I was first able to talk during my fourteen day stay in the
hospital in Sydney, Australia. After I regained consciousness, I was told
that doctors were coming in to speak with me.

When they came in, they sat down
on chairs at the foot of my bed and did not speak, they just looked at the
floor. I felt badly because I thought that perhaps I personally
was not cooperating in some way. So I made an apology and explained
that I wanted to cooperate, but that I had not slept well the night before,
I had a headache, and was generally not feeling well.

One of the doctors looked at
me briefly and said, "Reverend, it has nothing to do with you
personally."

I said, "Then what does it
have to do with?"

He said, "Medically you
should
be dead, but you are alive and we do not know why."

At that point I said, "Let me
ask you a question. Have you ever heard of the Christ
Jesus from Nazareth?"

Neither replied, so I
restated my question. At that point the other doctor looked
at me and stated, "Yes, we have heard of Him."

I then said, "Then
you admit that you know about Him?" They replied in the
affirmative that
they did. I said, "Here is understanding, you know about Him,
butI KNOW HIM!"
They were emotionally moved! I shall never forget the presence of God
that I felt in those few moments of time. It was simply WONDERFUL!

Doctors, nurses and other
hospital staff have promised in both countries to come to the meeting where
I am preaching the next time I am in their country. These people are
and were some of the very finest I have ever known professionally anywhere in the world! I have made friends with
some of them and plan to see
and get together with them in the future.

I
remember through the three years I attended Apostolic Bible Institute in St Paul,
Minnesota, that every day at the fifteen minute break time we
were
given, I neither went downstairs to play ping pong (I am not against
ping pong) nor ate donuts, but rather went to the prayer room and there I pleaded with God daily to use my life. I begged God
not to just let me occupy space on planet earth and asked that my living in
this life would not
be in vain.

What is
most interesting in walking with God and in learning and knowing His ways,is that generally the answer He sends when we pray never looks like
the answer we have pictured in the theater of our mind's eye.

The things that happen to us
so many times are nothing more or nothing less than the shadow of His hand
outstretched caressingly bringing about His will for others and ourselves.

Faith, in the simplest
definition that I have been able to express, is simply: BLINDLY TRUSTING
THAT GOD
WILL ALWAYS DO THAT WHICH IS RIGHT BY YOU.

The more you think
about it, the more you realize how profoundly simple and true this statement really is.

_________________

Immediately upon hearing of my physical condition and what had happened to me
in Sydney, Pastor Jeff Young Sr. from Bethel Springs, Tennessee caught
the first plane to Sydney and was at my side in the hospital room as soon as
possible. My sister
came with a number of others who also traveled great distances to be at my
side plus those from Australia itself. There is no way to
tell you the comfort and security this brought to me personally. I shall
never forget it!

The
support I felt from the saints and friends in the church in Sydney was
totally beyond the call
of duty in every way. Their kindness and help is rated among some of
the very highest in all of my life's experiences. To say that I
am completely indebted is an understatement. I will not and cannot
ever forget it!

The homes and hospitality
opened to me in both countries gave me a whole new look and perspective of
what Christianity is really all about.

I
am thankful for all that has happened to me. The time spent in
hospitals among people both known and unknown has caused me to re-evaluate
everything about my life and ministry. I am a better person.
Therefore, I can say with complete sincerity that I am glad for what God has
allowed in my life because I now know and see things I neither knew nor saw
before.

Not once in all of this did I
ever experience even one second of fear. It simply was never there.
My sufficiency is totally in Him. I am ready to go or stay whatever
His bidding may be. What a marvelous way to live and what incredible
comfort to possess - Simply stated: IT IS FREEDOM that
only Jesus can give!

totally professional in his field!

Official
Medical Report:

On November 12, 2003, Brother Stoneking suffered
a cardiac arrest due to a massive heart attack. He suffered this
ventricular fibrillation arrest at the airport in Sydney, Australia.

Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is the
most commonly identified arrhythmia in cardiac arrest patients. This
arrhythmia is a severe derangement of the heartbeat that usually ends in
death within minutes unless corrective measures are promptly taken.
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was administered by bystanders until
paramedics could arrive. I quote a letter I received from Dr. Mark
Pitney in Australia (Brother Stoneking’s attending physician while in
the hospital overseas): “Even with intubation (a breathing tube
in place), paramedic CPR and repeated cardioversions (shocks to
the heart—ten total shocks! ),a stable rhythm (heartbeat)
and output (circulation) was not gained for thirty minutes.”

Basically, in common everyday vernacular,
Brother Stoneking was dead for thirty minutes. The first miracle of
this was that he lived at all. Sudden cardiac death accounts for
approximately 300,000 deaths per year in the United States, of which
75-80% are due to VF. More deaths are attributable to VF than to lung
cancer, breast cancer, or AIDS. A major adverse outcome from a VF event
is anoxic encephalopathy (brain damage due to lack of oxygen),
which occurs in 30-80% of patients. Irreversible brain damage usually
occurs within 6 minutes. Again, according to Brother Stoneking’s
reports and the doctors I spoke with directly in Australia, no adequateheartbeat or circulation was established for thirty minutes.

When he collapsed, he struck his head on
the concrete floor causing large hematomas. As if a heart attack and VF
arrest were not enough, this was a terribly complicating set of events.
A hematoma is a localized mass of blood confined within a space. So
when he fell he developed blood on the brain. The reason this
complicates matters so, is that the number one treatment for a patient
having a heart attack is the use of powerful blood thinners. Since he
had bleeding on the brain he could not undergo any treatment for his
heart attack. Also, the fall caused a fracture of his skull.

He was taken to the cardiac
catheterization lab (a special procedure room used to take angiograms
or pictures of the arteries of the heart). There they “initially”
felt he needed to have open-heart surgery. However, when I spoke with
Dr. Pitney he stated to me, “I will send you Mr. Stoneking’s films for
you and your colleagues to look at because I can’t explain what happened
between the first shot and the second shot!” What he meant by this was,
with the first pictures taken it looked as though Brother Stoneking
would need three to four bypasses because it looked like he had several
severe blockages. However in the very next picture his blockages looked
better.

Because of this miraculous finding, as
well as, a spontaneous and what I can only explain as miraculous
resolution of his heart attack, it was felt by his neurologist and
cardiologist in Sydney that he could be stabilized and sent back to the
states for any procedures he might require. Miraculously, and that is
the only words I can use because it is a miracle, Brother Stoneking
recovered in Sydney without any brain damage.

Upon getting him back to the states we
readmitted him to the hospital and my colleagues and I began our own
work-up. The MRI of his brain here miraculously showed “no evidence of
bleeding or even prior bleeding.” This is a documented miracle, because
I have a CT scan report from Australia that shows blood on the brain.
We also did a repeat CT scan after the MRI results to better assess his
skull fracture. I was in the CT room with Bro. Stoneking and the
radiologist kept getting more and more pictures and questioned me about
whether the doctors in Sydney were correct about the skull fracture
because the only fracture he could find on CT here was one that looked
“old." This was another miracle!!

Bro. Stoneking finally underwent
successful balloon angioplasty and stent to a 100% blocked right
coronary artery. The final miracle of it all was discovered in our Cath
Lab here in the states. Brother Stoneking’s heart was functioning at
about half of what it should. As a result of this he had some fluid on
his lungs in Australia, a common complication following a heart attack
of this magnitude. With any heart attack there is usually some residual
damage and this can beindefinite and can take up to 6 months for
stunned myocardium (heart muscle) to recover, if it recovers at
all. When we reassessed his heart function here, his heart function was
entirely normal!!!

I can truly say that Brother Stoneking’s
recovery and medical course is miraculous. He was nicknamed the
“miracle patient” at our hospital and people would come by just to see
and talk with him. To God be the glory!! God is still in the miracle
working business in the 21st century!

Update:
In March of this year 2007, I had a complete blood lipid profile
run at the hospital in Jackson, Tennessee. The results
returned out as one of the best they had seen and I am on no
medication of any kind!

They now
can check an individual's DNA. They checked mine to see
the marker for heart disease. They found that I am not
carrying the APOE geno genetic maker for heart disease!
Dr. Young said, "If it was there before God raised you from the
dead (and it must have been in order for you to have the
attack), when He raised you from the dead - He removed it!

This is
totally impossible - it cannot be done! A miracle totally!
Only God could do such a thing!"

Dr. Weiner, here
in America, walked into my room the day after he treated my heart
condition and told me, "Reverend, you have excellent health!"

I said, "What do you mean?" He said, "For one thing,
none of us believe that you are sixty-three years of age.

Your blood pressure is normal; there is no sugar diabetes in your
body and there is no cancer in your body. The only thing is
this beginning of blockage in the veins on the outside of the heart."

Dr. Weiner

is absolutely
brilliant

and a total expert

in his field!

He went on to say,
"What we have done for you is good for over fifty years."

My
response was, "Doctor, I do not want to be disrespectful, but I don't
think I want to hang around in this world another fifty years."

He chuckled
and together with others he confirmed that what they had done was a
smashing success!

TO GOD

BE THE
GLORY!

My
personal thanks and gratitude to Dr. Jeff Young Jr. and Dr. Weiner for
their expertise and total commitment to my
recovery and well being.

How does one repay such care
and love as described herein from strangers, friends, family, and ministers?
I am not sure, but my prayers are that the blessings of God be upon all of
them. No one is more deserving!

Understanding:

One thing that has become so
forcefully impressed upon my heart and mind through this ordeal, is the
truth that no matter how many or how few enemies, foes, or demonic
powers that war against you, until God says
He is through with you, there is no thing nor any force--either human or
demonic that can touch your life!

GOD IS THE FINAL VOICE AND
AUTHORITY IN A CHILD OF GOD'S LIFEand there is none that can alter it!

Those that get in God's way with what He
ordains for and with your life will have Him to deal with and His judgments
accordingly. Selah!

My Miracle Update

November 2004

On November 12, 2004 I stepped into the
pulpit in Sydney, Australia and said, "One year
ago on November 12, 2003 I dropped dead of a
massive heart attack in your airport and was
clinically dead for 30 minutes. But
tonight I am back alive and well..."
the people stood and began to applaud! It
was a most emotional moment for me.

_________________

Terribly Dead

is the emotion that
gripped me when I was shown these photos
taken by Brother Nassif with his cell
phone one year ago when I was first
admitted to the hospital in Sydney.
It was difficult because no photos were
allowed by the hospital and the photos
are small because of the tiny camera
capabilities of his cell phone.

I
am forever grateful to Brother Nassif
for obtaining this lasting record of my
being 'so terribly dead.'

Brother Nassif had kept these photos on
his cell phone since November 2003 until
I returned in November 2004. I had
no idea that there were more than the
one I already had.

Doctors in
hospitals both in Sydney and here at
home are forced to admit that it is a
miracle of God. There is no
way to refute it because it is medically
documented with eye witnesses all along
the way. TO GOD BE THE GLORY!

Doug

Pastor Young

I will never forget the
sacrifice and expression of
concern
toward me as a Brother in the
Lord when I was unable to help
myself...
Brother Jeff Young and Brother
Doug came immediately from
Bethel Springs, Tennessee to
assist in any way they could on
my behalf. Brother Young
has been a loyal
and trusted friend for nearly
twenty years.

I was heavily sedated
with powerful drugs and
was filled with tubes
and wires shortly after
this photo was taken.
I kept pulling them out
which
understandably
frustrated the nurses
and doctors assigned to
my care.

In their frustration,
they determined to
totally strap me in so
that I could not move.
This announcement was
made the morning Brother
Young and Brother Doug
arrived and came into my
room.

Upon hearing the doctor's
intent, Brother Young said, "No,
we will not let you do that to
him. We will sit on either
side of him and hold him down
all day and pray!" They did
so... and early the next morning
when they came to see me,
I was sitting up on the side of
my bed and said, "Brother Young,
what are you doing here?"
It was the first time I even
realized they were there because
of the medication. About
that time, the doctor walked in
and exclaimed, "This is not the
same man I took care of last
night!" Their prayers had
broken the power of the drugs
and from that moment on I was
totally restored to normal.
The news spread through the
hospital and many came to view
and to hear a man raised from
the dead by the Power of God in
our day! TO GOD BE THE
GLORY - HE ALONE CAN TAKE IT IN
MY CASE...

________________

As I left
Sydney after the Revival Crusade in
November of 2004 -
(one year later after the heart attack,)
I asked Brother Slack on the way to the
airport if we could have breakfast at
the restaurant where I had fallen and
lay dead for over thirty minutes the
year before. And he replied, "No
problem."

In the above photo
I am sitting where the policeman had
been sitting when he saw me fall and who rushed to assist me
with CPR until the ambulance arrived...

________________

The owner of the restaurant
greeting me one year later-Nov 2004

Directly behind her to the left is the
waitress. When Brother Slack and I
walked into the restaurant, the waitress
immediately recognized me and came
quickly exclaiming, "You look
great!" I simply replied,
"I'm doing great!"
She then went quickly into the back and
brought out the owner. The owner
said, "You look great" when she
saw me and my response was the
same! They were happy to see me
and expressed great kindness toward me
and those with me.

The restaurant had been closed after I
had the heart attack. A crowd
gathered around to watch the CPR, and
electric shock treatments to the heart
and chest area. Portable walls
were brought and put up to keep the
crowd away...

________________

This photo is a real treasure to
me. Sister Nassif, myself, Brother
Nassif, Brother Slack, and Jena saw me
off from the airport and I positioned
myself so that while we ate, I could
look just a few feet beyond me and view
the floor where one year before I had
lain dead for thirty minutes.
It moved me in ways I cannot totally
explain. But the reality of life
and the Power of God is more pronounced
in my life than ever before.

________________

Pastor Ted Slack and Myself - Nov
2004

We both know in such reality, WHAT
A DIFFERENCE JESUS MAKES!

He is still the Resurrection and
the Life - AMEN!

________________

When I
was put in the ambulance, I was slated
for DOA - Dead on Arrival

The blood had
coagulated in my hands, forearms, feet
and calves. What I did not know is
that it had also clotted in my heart.
There were clots and the doctor's advice
was, "We have to cut him open
immediately to even try to save his
life." Pastor Slack and
those with him said, 'No, we'll pray."
And they prayed... they took
another set of pictures of my heart and

the clots
and blockages had disappeared!!!
They did not cut me open.
The
photos above portray Dr. Pitney's
exclamations and comments concerning
this miracle.

Dr. Pitney told me
himself that there was one huge blood
clot at the top of the heart area.
But it totally disappeared and he said,
"We do not know what happened to it.!
BUT WE DO - JESUS STEPPED ON THE
SCENE!

________________

Dr.
Pitney and myself in his office Nov 2004

We
had a wonderful discussion about it all.
He was ever so kind and totally
interested in me and my welfare. I
simply wanted to walk in, shake his
hand, and thank him for all he had done
for me.

He
gave me the photos with the clots and
without the clots in my heart.
They are now in my album of memories
from My Miracle in Sydney!

Nigel

Ambulance Driver

Through the year of 2004,
I stayed in contact with Nigel
and asked to see him when I
returned in November of 2004.

He so very kindly agreed and we
had lunch together. In
all, we spent about three hours chatting and sharing.

In that time, there were many
questions I wanted to ask him
because he was the only one that
would really know. He was
the one who had attended to me
and had administered the
electric shock treatments to my
heart while lying dead on
the floor of the Sydney airport.

I asked him, "Nigel, what
happened when you shocked my
heart?" He said, "It would
beat two or three times;
sometimes four times; and then
STOP!

He
said, "Lee, everything that could go
wrong went wrong. We were not told
you had had a heart attack. Only
that someone had fallen at the airport.
This is routine work for us, so we were
not aware of the graveness of your
situation. People fall daily at
the airport resulting in sprains of
various kinds.

It
was not until we were walking in the
airport that a policeman came and said,
"You must come quickly. This man
is very sick. They are giving him
CPR. It was then I realized it was
quite serious! When we got to the
restaurant and saw you lying on the
floor, I knew you were dead.
Nothing worked. Even the battery
on my machine went dead. We were
able to use another one which the
paramedic had brought with her."

I
said, "Nigel, when did I really begin to
breath and my heart begin to beat?"
He said, "Lee, it was not until
you were in the ambulance on the way to
the hospital and you were expected to
arrive Dead On Arrival."

I
said, "So, Nigel, I was actually
clinically dead for longer than thirty
minutes wasn't I?" He replied
immediately, "Oh yes, you were
dead for at least forty-five minutes."

My
condition was far worse than I knew and
the Miracle of my being raised from the
dead even more Miraculous than I had
understood!

How can I repay Jesus, Nigel, doctors,
Pastor Slack and congregation there in
Sydney, and believers world wide for all
they have so gracious done and given on
my behalf? I will continue
to do for others on behalf of Jesus and
His Great Commission to Preach the
Gospel to every creature what I have
always done. It is all I know and
feel to do...

Someone said, "What a price to pay with
what you have been through."
My reply: "BEHOLD THE PURCHASE OF
SUCH A PRICE!"
Miraculous healings have taken place in
the lives of people all over the world
where I have gone since I have been
raised from the dead! His
every wish is my command and someday
when I see Him, my ultimate reward
will be to simply hear Jesus say:
"WELL DONE." Nothing else really
matters to me.

God Bless all who read here and may the
Love of God flood your whole being as
never before! Jesus grant it I
Pray!

________________

The sacrifices of love and
devotion shown and demonstrated during my hospital vigil by this staff
and people are indelibly engrained in my memory... I can never
forget. They sat with me daily and nightly. They never
left me alone - constant prayer was lifted to God on my
behalf continuously.

The power of prayer by the
people of God has no equal - and in the Church, we are covered with that
which moves the heart, the might, and
the Hand of God!
